Good morning Beloved Brethren,

Topic: A GLORIOUS INHERITANCE
Text: Read: Ephesians 1:13-14
Daily Bible Study: Gen. 35-36; Ps. 9

“…ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory” (Eph.1:13-14).

What is the ultimate purpose of being adopted as a child of God? Is it salvation, forgiveness, justification or cleansing? All are part of it, but the ultimate purpose of our adoption is the inheritance of glory. The book of Romans 8:17 says, “And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ…that we may be also glorified together.”
Everything that Jesus Christ received by divine right, believers in Christ will also receive from Him by divine grace. After death, we inherit this heavenly estate. That is why Apostle Paul said “to die is gain” (Phil. 1:21). For the believer, physical death is not an enemy; because it takes us into the presence of God.

We should note that the Spirit of God turns our groans into glory. The book of Roman 8:18 says: “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with glory which shall be revealed in us”. Whatever problem makes you groan, turn it over to God. He will turn your groaning into glory. All the pain, hurt, suffering and agony are nothing compared to the Father's glory that you will one day inherit. Rest and rejoice in the Truth that the Spirit of God is giving you the ultimate victory. He is guaranteeing and sealing your adoption and turning your groaning into glory.

Prayer: Gracious Father, thank You for the glorious inheritance promised to us Your children. Please grant us Your grace to enable us face our trials and gain the glory You have in store for us. We pray in Jesus’ name – Amen.

FEBRUARY 01, 2019 Thank God its Friday! Tate joined me in my car as I drove to work. I dropped him off at 7up bus stop, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. He was heading for his company headquarters at Ajao Estate. I got to work early enough. Not very comfortable because I did not exactly carry out my duties properly yesterday. I eventually defended my activities in the meeting presided by the MD. I left with Dare in our separate cars for Iyare Transport Company to Waybill Oxide pigments heading for Benin to Golden Julirose. Joined the the brethren who visited the Old People's Home at the location. We sang and prayed with the old people and rounded up at 6pm. I left with Tobi to pick up Tate at Itamaga and drop off Tobi at her residence in Itamaga. Drove home with Tate. Hung about at B-Lounge with Tate later in the night. Took 2 bottles of beer and a plate of pepper soup each. Bought a plate of pepper soup as 'take away' for Ify.
